Physics Student Edition 4th Edition

With so many secular materials infused with evolution, it's sometimes difficult to find solid science materials that are based on Creationism. Bob Jones Science is thoroughly Christian, including many evidences and support of Creationism and many "holes" in the theory of evolution, particularly at the upper grade levels. Vital to the program are the student activities, or labs. The scientific method is emphasized as children participate on hands-on activities and experiments throughout the curriculum. The junior high and high school levels are full-blown laboratory science courses, complete with a separate lab manual. Experiments are excellent, but some of them require unique materials or are difficult to do in a home environment. The revised texts are more home-friendly, though, and Bob Jones also offers a Lab Manual Supplement for home schoolers, containing tips for doing lab activities in smaller groups. We have used many of these upper level texts in our home school. We also have accumulated a wealth of laboratory equipment and supplies over the years, which has made the lab work easier. I have sometimes substituted labs from Experiences in Biology and Experiences in Chemistry (from Castle Heights - see index) where it's been too difficult to use a particular lab. Bob Jones has made it easy to obtain lab materials and chemicals (you can order almost anything you need for their courses on the Science Lab Materials Order Form), but some labs are still pretty complex for a home environment, requiring a lot of set-up and preparation time. For each grade level, essential materials are listed first, followed by asterisked (*) supplemental support materials. Support items used at multiple grade levels are at the end.

There is more evaluation of science and its relationship to Scripture at the upper levels, and biblical Creationism is presented as truth. Teacher's editions contain reduced student text pages on the same page with teacher instructions, notes, and answers.

BJU Physics is a college preparatory course that is designed for Grade 12 students who have successfully completed Algebra 2. Currently, we have some 3^rd edition components available, as well as the 4^th edition. Please see editions for more details. 

Revised and updated to meet current standards, the 4^th edition Physics course is reorganized and restructured with more scaffolding of lessons, to better prepare students for the advanced concepts. The course takes a discovery based, investigative approach with real-life application and an integrated Biblical worldview. Topics include the foundational concepts of physics from dynamics and kinematics, through electromagnetics, geometric optics and light, to quantum physics, and nuclear physics. Enhancing the lessons and helping them prepare for assessments, the text includes discussion questions, section reviews, chapter summaries, and review questions.  Additionally, there are mini labs, graphic organizers, STEM Connections, infographics, and Worldview and Ethics sidebars to provide more research opportunities and application to the real world. This is a mathematically rigorous course. Successful completion of Algebra 1 and 2, and Geometry are recommended.  Required components include the student Edition, Teacher Edition, Student Lab Manual, Teacher Lab Manual, Assessments and Assessments Answer Key. Components are sold individually or together in the Home School Kit. Not compatible with previous editions.
